Elias, where have you been all my life?!?…read more Good shawarma is hard to come by in the burbs so I had high hopes the first time I ordered from Elias. Let me tell you... You. Will. Not. Be. Disappointed! The food here is SO good and SO SO cheap! I love that I can get a full takeout container of shawarma plate for $9.99 plus delivery and tip! They pile on the meat and the sauces galore. Such flavorful tasty food with a nice side of salad/tomatoes/tabouli/pickled turnip to balance it out. I haven't been super impressed with the naan but that may be because it's better served fresh at the restaurant. Stick with the shawarma plate and you're gold. I eat here once a week, it's so damn tasty and the best shawarma in Whitby!

It is soooo tasty and flavourful and the portion size was great and the toppings were fresh (except the pickle it tasted super salty and texture was a bit weird). but otherwise, I am a fan! The beef kabob plate (2/5) on the other hand was a miss. The plate came with two kabobs and they were dry and slightly sour note? It just wasn't hitting the spot and wasn't juicy and tender or flavourful like I expected. The rice and salad were good though. I might give other items on the menu a try but decent spot for a neighbourhood bite if you order the right thing.

It's been a few years since I wrote my review on Maimana so I figured it's time for an update…read more.. especially considering how many times I've eaten here! Over the years they've added various new items to their menu. Just when I think this place can't get any better, they add items such as Bolani, Quabili Rice and Dolma (just to name a few). It's getting harder and harder to settle on just one item for lunch or dinner. I want them all! The service is fabulous, the food is fabulous... clean, lean and healthy eating. You can't go wrong. This is one of my most favourite restaurants and the benchmark for which I rate all other Afghan restaurants. Go. Eat. Enjoy. xx

The food is consistently good and delicious, however their online ordering system is the absolute worst.

For my sake and on behalf of others, I will gladly purchase a replacement device so this issue is resolved once and for all.

The Whitby location is much larger than the Ajax restaurant and has plenty of seating. The food is exactly the same and believe me consistency is key! We opted for one of our all-time favourites, the chicken breast salad but this time, I wanted to try the wrap as well. We were also generously given a hearty bowl of chicken barley soup which was soooo good (and much appreciated given the day was dark and drizzly). Maimana's dishes are next level. Clean, healthy eating and always delicious.

The spice level was higher than what "mild" is typically but I loved it and so did our kids. We just needed more water to tone down the heat. Great food - with slow service but it is worth the wait.

Barg Wrap (Steak) Shawarma Plate…read more We stopped in today and ordered take out for lunch, after a friend had recommended this place to us. We spoke with the hostess and she was an absolute sweetheart. We did not know they have been around since 2008! However, there is new ownership this last year. I must say there's a reason people are recommending the food. There is free parking in behind the restaurant. The interior is cozy and has tables for dining in. We opted for a wrap and a plate; splitting both. The plate was loaded with rice, garlic sauce, hummus and lots of chicken shawarma. Topped with another sauce, this was the perfect combo. The meat was juicy and flavorful. There were multiple dressings to choose from for the salad. The Barg wrap was a steak wrap and my hubby commented on how tender the meat was. The wrap was an ok size and was a nice mix of veggies. All in all we had a solid experience and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

We were able to secure a booth near the side of the restaurant which didn't have any members of the team, which was large enough for the both of us. We then placed our order, which was the chicken kabob meal for my husband, and the butter chicken meal for myself. We then sat down, and waited about 10-12 minutes for the meal to arrive, which was perfect timing considering that there was a large team to serve while we were there. In the butter chicken meal, I was given a large container of butter chicken, along with pita bread, rice, and salad. I was impressed with how well everything tasted, as the chicken was tender, and the rice with the salad was abundant. I couldn't even eat all of the food, as there was too much of it! Overall, this place was definitely top-notch; excellent amount of food choices, great value, and nice service; would definitely come back if I am in the area again, and would highly-recommend to anyone that is looking for an authentic and delicious meal!

If there was anything good that came out of my failed dinner experience at their neighbour, it was finding this little gem! We placed an order over the phone for pickup. I wanted to get an order of the Tandoori Chicken Fries but they were out of fries that day. Have a back up just in case! I know it's called the Kabab Shoppe but I've been craving butter chicken for a long time. I got that knowing I could mooch off everyone else for a bite of their kabab (I know I'm the worst). The sauce for this butter chicken was perfect. Flavourful without heat! Their naan is a little bit different than what you would get at most other places. The outside is fried a golden brown and the inside is very fluffy and almost reminds me of like a focaccia. I tried a bit of the Kabuli Palau which is a lamb shank over rice with carrots and raisins. This was really good and my definite go to the next time we order from here. My partner gave me a piece each of shish kabab and barg tikka and I'm a little ashamed to say that I couldn't really tell the difference. They were both decent though! A little Covid note as well, there is no indoor seating right now. There are plexiglass barriers separating the counter from guests.
